What colleges are in Boston College's tier group?

[Anonymous]

Just curious for building our college list.

BU, Tufts, Villanova, NYU

I would say from a selectivity standpoint now it also includes a lot of higher ranked schools like at the Georgetown level. BC is very hot and a hard admit. The school is in a great location and has a lot to offer.

Emory
Norte Dame

Maybe or maybe not academically- but BC seems just as hard to get in. I would put it at the low end of the Emory ND Georgetown tier. BC way tougher than any of the schools above.

If you like Boston College, you'd probably like UVA, Villanova, Wake Forest, Fordham, Middlebury, and maybe Richmond. For reaches, Notre Dame, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Penn, and Cornell.

Not the same based on our high school Scoir scatterplots. RD into BC typically get in to William and Mary Out of state, some get into Wake some do not, Wake is a touch harder, Emory and GTown and Notre Dame are all another notch harder for RD. Our school sends 8-10% unhooked to T20s. BC in RD is a common likely for the top 10% as is Wake, those two would be matches for the students in the top 1/3 but not the top 10%, assuming equal rigor and all that.
Holy Cross, Nova, Fordham are much easuer than BC and are for bottom-half kids but also used as backups for the kids around top 1/3 in case they do not get into T30-40 range.
Just over 10% of the high school takes BC calc in 11th and Vector/Linear in 12th, as a normal track. AP physics C is common in 11th for about 20% of the class.AP language or Lit is done in 10th by more than half the school. We do college level English semesters after that. Its a pretty rigorous school but we have a lot who get in to Boston College in RD.

BC is much harder to get into than Wake. Not even close. Agree it’s slightly easier vs ND Georgetown and Tufts.

Pp- not even sure it’s easier admit vs tufts. Probably just as hard.

+1 It's a selective catholic school close to a major urban center. Villanova is probably the closest. Georgetown should be on the list at the high end

Notre Dame, Tufts

It all depends on your high school, especially if you attend a private school. At my kid's school, BC is a much easier admit than WF. (not a Catholic school but a private).

That is crazy talk. In our area, only recruited athletes got into BC in the ED cycle. Any academically strong kid (full pay) will get into Wake ED.

BC has also built several new buildings that have filled needs & improved an already very pretty campus.
